I've been playing piano ever since i was four years old.  In my

world it was proper to know certain things at a young age.  By the
time i was nine i knew how to play the violin perfectly with no

mistakes.  But my mother seemed to think my actual talent was

for the piano so she kept on me to practice more.  Nothing ever

seemed to please her unless i got it perfectly right.  Witch with

her watching my every move was hard.  I was never aloud out for
more then two hours a day.  Two hours to myself is all i got.  I was

homeschooled so there was no escaping my mother.  My dad left

when i was eight.  He was the only one who understood what i

wanted.  I still remember the day he left.  He and my mom had

argued for hours.  "Why cant you see.  All that she wants is to be

normal my dad yelled".  "She is better then normal Rick.  She has

the chance to do great things.  Im not going to let her throw that

away my mom yelled".  "shes just a child harper.  You cannot

expect her to be perfect yelled".  "Well if you dont like how

we live then leave she yelled" before leaving the room.  The next

day he was gone.  He left even when i begged him to stay.  How

could he leave me when i needed him most.  How could he leave

me with my controlling mother.  But it didn't matter he was

gone.  And i had no one but my mother.
